DocScrutinizer: sean had a presentation on openmoko scheduled for i think it was just after the first bloodletting. at a conference in switzerland, if i remember right. and there he made a statement in that sense. i probably got the wording wrong, though.

DocScrutinizer: (wearables) Yes!, also very in line with Arduino next move :), David Cuartielles one of his founders, has also near to publish a book about it :) , so some atmegas arround jacket and trousers and a brain/hmi based on qi-hw is not really a bat a idea at all

DocScrutinizer: and why not configure it directly on the ankward of you foreaarm with a wearable screen that make you able to do so on the go , and with an 6lowpan that make you able to even configure it with your desktop computer without need to plug anything? :)

yeah, and the point is you can't built the needed shutter LCDs yourself. I'd have some rather smart (IMHO) ideas regarding combining shutter function, HMD (actual content mirrored in to the glasses via micro projector), and some ultra-geeky sunglasses function like selective dimming.

>>wearable computing: Wearable computing hopes to shatter this myth of how a computer should be used. A person's computer should be worn, much as eyeglasses or clothing are worn, and interact with the user based on the context of the situation. With heads-up displays, unobtrusive input devices, personal wireless local area networks, and a host of other context sensing and communication tools, the wearable computer can act as an

kristianpaul: if you can just count cycles, you can synchronize with ntp. ntp has very little drift but there's a possibly large random-ish offset when you take the sample. a few ppm for a measurement period of ~1h should be feasible, though.

ah, sure. i wasn't talking about lissajous. i was thinking of counting cycles over one ntp hour, then see how many you got, and tune accordingly. repeat until you either have it right or until you declare defeat in before overwhelming temperature drift :)
